Here Are Some Fun Facts About Constitution Day and Constitution Week...

On February 13, 2017, residents of three counties along the Feather River, south of the Oroville Dam, were issued evacuation orders for fear the Oroville Spillway would fail.

Over 200,000 residents living along the river in Butte, Yuba, and Sutter Counties began the process of packing their most valuable possessions, children, and pets to begin their bumper-to-bumper migration out of the area.

There was no warning, just a broadcast announcement over local TV stations and an emergency text alert. Residents waited up to six hours from the time the orders were issued until all were safely out of the area.

I can attest to that, as I was part of the evacuation. It took my daughter and I three hours in bumper to bumper traffic, just to make it one mile in the small Sutter County town of Sutter.

But even after the all clear was given, the evacuation orders lifted, and residents were finally back at their homes, the danger still lurks.

To Decide, or to Not Decide? That Is The Question

With the approaching celebration of our Great Nation’s beginnings on July 4th, I can’t help but feel a little more patriotic. The Red, White and Blue are on full display everywhere you go. Firework stands in every major parking lot, glitter covered patriotic bows line the home decor sections of stores, and miniature American flags can be purchased at most convenience stores. America, Land of the Free, and Home of the Brave…. With Liberty for All.

But this year, I’m feeling a little more patriotic for an entirely different reason. One that resonates more closely with our founders, and what they risked their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor for. Do you know what that reason is? I think Thomas Jefferson says it best.

With the 4th of July quickly approaching, patriots across the nation will have their American Flags on full display. With that in mind, we decided to remind everyone of the Flag Code by displaying some of the rules and instructions, that should be observed when displaying our stars and stripes.
